A Vision of a Flying Scroll

Zechariah 5

¹ Again I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, a flying _a scroll! ² And he said to me, "What do you see?" I answered, "I see a flying _a scroll. Its length is twenty cubits, and its width ten cubits." ₁ ³ Then he said to me, "This is _b the curse that goes out over the face of the whole land. For everyone who _c steals shall be cleaned out according to what is on one side, and everyone who _d swears falsely ₂ shall be cleaned out according to what is on the other side. ⁴ I will send it out, declares the Lord of hosts, and it shall enter the house of the thief, and the house of _e him who swears falsely by my name. And _f it shall remain in his house and _g consume it, both timber and stones."
